The heavy rains of Monday and yes

work of decorating the dwellings and
business establishments OF the city, winch
had been 80 energeticaAy prosecuted
since Saturday last and those which
have already been erected, presented
rather dripping and woe-begone ap-
pearance. Should the weather be bright
and smiling this morning, however, they
will all speedily recover their dropping
| spirits ,sand the action will be resumed all
along the line. The houses on the route
of the procession still undecorated will
be gaily adorned with banners and
streamers, and Richmond will be eager to
show her veneration and respect for one
of the nObest OF Yirginia's sons. But
here is again exemplhed the re-
missness of our Inform Coun-
ell in not making the Appropriation
asked for TO ensure The success
| of the cornerstone ceremonies.
/ Had the $4,000, or even less, been
given. statues similar TO that OF anne

NJ various points along the streets, and
then the rain would have had no effect
other than improving them. The statue
Of Mr. Elder, now at the approach to the
| site of the monument, will look better
after than before the rain, and when 1t is
/ festOOned with evergreens, garlands and
other decorations, it will be greatly i'm
